in The James Bond Films
Which one do you prefer, Sean Connery's second Bond film or Daniel Craig's second outing as James Bond? I think the answer to this one is obvious. From Russia With Love all the way for me. -{

    The Music, the Settings, and the Suspense make it the perfect Spy Thriller.

    From Russia With Love, of course!
    Dalton is the Bond! Lazenby is the other fella.

    Though I like the direct sequel feel of QOS I prefer the Cold War espionage of FRWL & so my vote goes to FRWL.

    I'd just like to say, I've nothing against QOS -{ , I simply
    Prefer the cold war feel and of course how close it stays
    To the fabulous Fleming book. {[]

    Frwl..

    However I would like to commend QoS. Some good stuff there

    Why QoS? Why not frwl versus dad?

    The comparison is a bit ironic, as From Russia With Love is really Cold-War-centric and the plot of Quantum of Solace is about forgoing the morals of the Cold War.

    From Russia With Love? Pretty iconic.
    Quantum of Solace? Not Pretty or iconic.

    Blofeld, Rosa Klebb and Red Grant versus Mister White, Dominic Greene and Elvis. You decide. :D

    To be fair to QoS, I really do enjoy parts of it, such as the opera and Russian scenes.

    As one who actually loves QOS much more than most, It's still FRWL. A comparison with CR would be more appropriate I think (but FRWL would still win for me). :007)
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    FRWL is probably the best. I mean in the whole franchise, of course. -{

    I watch them for different reasons so they are very hard to compare. The two Polar opposites of the Bond films.

    Yes, it is. I just felt like talking about how inferior Quantum of Solace is, when compared to From Russia With Love.

    Well, to be fair, FRWL is no cinema masterpiece either. A good, enjoyable movie, well done , but nowhere near a true masterpiece.

    So I'd say it would be more like comparing a Brigitte Bardot selfie with a Miley Cyrus selfie :D
